At one point Volkan randomly pushed buttons on the aircraft control panel and inadvertently launched an alarm that alerted security.That was at 8.40pm, said the report. Three and a half hours later, security forces arrive to pull him off the plane.

Rand's lacy underwear:Another article said it took the cops, air force cops, army, and Merkel's security hours to chase the guy out of the plane. What'd they use man, harsh language?[www.rankopedia.com image 350x233]

I get the impression the airplane was empty and no one noticed til he hit the alarm accidentally. Though it took me a while to get there.

You gotta love it! We have to be assaulted to fly commercially, have to have all of our communications and whereabouts tracked so that the government can feel safe, yet this guy can party away for hours on the Chancellors plane in his undies.Why couldn't this have happened in the US? It would be the best argument against the TSA and the NSA yet.

Merkel rides an Airbus 319? That's like the 737 you fly from Peoria to Iowa City.

There is no single plane reserved for use by the chancellor among the German government planes. There is a small flotilla of different airplanes which are scheduled according to demand - for larger state visits and longer distances, chancellor Merkel flies an A340-313X. But never a Boeing, on principle ;-).

I was arrested drunk and in only underwear once but that was just in my own front yard, nothing as epic as this guy. I salute you Turkish-German party dude!

/You try explaining to your cellmate why you're only wearing boxers//Even then it went better than trying to explain to the officers they couldn't arrest me for drunk in public because I was in my own front yard and that is "drunk in private"///And no, the cops didn't give me any clothes when they threw me in a cell or even when they kicked me onto the street at 7:30 the next morning
